De L'assassinat Considéré Comme UN Des Beaux-Arts

De L'assassinat Considéré Comme UN Des Beaux-Arts

Thomas De Quincey

1827

British Literature, Philosophy & Ethics

Translated by André Fontainas

De L'assassinat Considéré Comme UN Des Beaux-Arts, published in 1827 by Thomas De Quincey, is a philosophical treatise that examines murder through an aesthetic lens. De Quincey introduces a fictional society that critiques assassination as a form of performance art, exploring the moral and artistic implications of murder. His work blends irony with intellectual seriousness, challenging societal views on homicide and its representation. This unique perspective positions the act of killing within the realms of taste and aesthetics, making it a notable contribution to discussions on morality and art in literature.
